Instance Ml devises the plan and puts It Up to the persons who will reap the benefits to furnish (he "sinews of war." For several years the department of agriculture has been conducting an investigation with a view to reclaiming half a million acres of swamp land in the Kankakee region of northern Indiana. Its report has just been given out for publication. It outlines a feasible way of tak Ing the kinks out of the meandering
Kankakee and transforming about M0.9M acres of land that is now prac
tically worthless Into fertile tracts. The cost is estimated at about $1,000,00 C. G. Elliott, of the office of pi
perlment stations, department of ag ricultiire. has gone to Indiana and taken a copy of the report with him. He will have a meeting at Wheatfleld. lnd . with prominent persons interested in the drainage of the Kankakee swamps and will explain in detail the conclusions reached by the depart ment. The report is lengthy, and. by way of Introduction, recites that "in 1904 Professor W I). Pence, of Purdue university, made a preliminary investigation of the Kankakee region and discovered that the activity of the land ow ners in constructing drains wherever there was opportunity to reclaim or better the condition of marsh farms was developing serious complications, especially in the low -r pan of the val ley. and that there was no unity of opinion regarding the plan that should
he adopted in the further reclamation f the lands In 1905 the office of experiment stations detailed M H. Downey, now citv engineer of Ander
son, to continue the investigations be-j sun by Professor Pence for the nur- I
pane Of examining the peculiarities at
this great river, learning what had been accomplished bv drainage and the bearing that the varied operations and experiences of land owners had upon the solution of the drainage question." Mr. Howney'a report, accompanied hy maps showing the character of the drainage work accomplished In the upper valley, with an nceount of its economic results, showed that at the close of the year 1Ü06 the main channel of the river had ben straightened by dredging from the upper end as far down stream as the west lines of Laporte and Stark counties. The improved channel at this point had I bottom width of "0 feat and discharged upon the flow line of the river. From this poirit to the Mom. nee KOCI in Illinois, a distance of 72 miles by river, and across the
width of twM counties in Indiana Porter and on the south no at tempt had been made to improve the river. The drainage operations In the upper part of the valley emphasized the necessity of some action being taken for the betterment of the condi tions in the lower section. Confronted with these facts the owners concerned in these lands held a mass me.-t
ing at Baum's bridge, in Porter OOOJJaty. on May 11. IMf, at which time a proposition submitted by the 0001 of experiment stations to locate and survey a line for the correct channel of the river from the east line of Porter county to MomcaoO, 111., was accept od. The division of irrigation and drain age investigations, office of experi
ment stations, department of agriculture, agreed to survey a new channel for the river and prepare a repor thereon, provided the citizens would furnish the labor required to a3sii-f the engineering force. committee known as the "Kankakee Drainage Committee." was chosen at this time, of which T J COOS, of Across. Ind.. was made MCTOtarj, ami through his committee the four counties concern ed cooperated by providing the assist ance asked for. This survey was con eucted by M. H. Buogejf , assisted by Fred Shnfer, until the resignation of the former from the service on October I, 190. at which time Omer Fait
i v. assisted ny t; Miller, eniore the field and completed It.

Keeps Horses in Middle of Road Until They Are Exhausted.
Noblesvllle Vesta, the 12 year old. daughter of Harry Bartholomew, exhibited rare presence of mind In handling a runaway team The fact
that she was coo! and collected under trying circumstances Is probably the only thing that saved her life. She held the horses while her father stepped into the store. The horses became frightened at an tnterurban rar and rnn away. The little girl sez ed the lines with a vise like grip, kept the horses In the middle of the road and carefully guided them around panning vehicles. After they had run a mile, into the country they showed signs of tiring. Little Miss Bartholomew grabbed her father's blacksnake whip, which he saw lying in the bottom of tfcO Oggon, and lashed the horses with all the strength at her command. She kept this np until the animals were completely exhausted and stopped running of their own accord.
